Can't Edit OJS Metadata

Hi there…

I need help. Something is wrong when i want to edit metadata. Here’s the picture.

The metadata form end at “title”, whereas there should be another form (abstract, cover, indexing, etc). How to fix it? Thanks.

Your article is probably not assigned to a section. On the previous page, choose a valid section to prevent this error.

This error is ultimately resolved by:

Steps to reproduce: - In OJS 2.4.7, navigate to a submission without a valid sec…tion assignment. - Select "Summary" - Select "Edit Metadata" Expected result: The form to edit the metadata Actual result: The form to edit the metadata, up until the fatal error when [checking the unset $section for abstract requirements](https://github.com/pkp/ojs/blob/973d391c76a073bc700b4cdc036da1ee8cbdfc3e/templates/submission/metadata/metadataEdit.tpl#L229). Solution: warn user on missing section on the Summary page; check for unset object before using in form.
